Your POV

Like every month the alarm that announces the arrival of a new greenie gets everyone's attention in the glade. I quickly get up and make my way to the box, where I had to fight my way through the big group of sweaty, smelly boys and just the thought of more of them arriving made me almost vomit. Don't get me wrong, I love these boys, but they could atleast jump in the lake now and then.

The greenie was a small blond boy, you could easily compare him to a stack of corn. Just like all of them he was scared and lost and because I am the only girl, he followed me around. I don't know why they do that but every first days after their arrival they follow me like little ducks after their mother.

I just went on with my day, but I had to be careful not to go to my hut in the woods. You see, every month I have been asking for books. I don't know why but the creators keep sending them up. The boys can't know I have them. They're the only thing here that I don't have to share with them. They are my only way to escape this scary place.

"What do you guys do for fun around here?" Newt, the new boy, asks

"The boys like to stay up late and do some crazy stuff, but I like my peace and quiet" I answer

"Oh, cool... What is your peace and quiet?"

"Just staying in my hut and enjoying the silence"

"You have your own hut?!"

I laugh.

"Yeah, Alby thought it was best because I am the only girl around here"

"Can I see your hut?"

"I don't know Blondie... It's kind of my own space"

"Owh"

He looks back down to his plate and makes sure his hair covers his face. I have watched him for the past days and he does that a lot, I think it has the same effect as my hut. Like your surrounded by safe walls. It's been 10 days and I am kinda getting attached to the corn boy. He is really smart and very different than the other boys. His eyes are always calm and he is really easy to talk to.

I sigh deep. Maybe I should show him my books. I know I can trust him and maybe it will help hem escape our hard reality too.

"Hey, Newt?"

"What is it" He mumbles with his hair still covering his face.

"Newt, can you just look up for a second?"

He slowly lifts his head up and his brown eyes twinkle in the evening lights.

"You can come to my hut"

"YESSSSS"

I quickly lay my finger on his lips to shut him up. All of the boys keep focusing on their dinner so I go on.

"You have to be quiet, it's a secret"

"Sorry" He wispers

"Can you promise me that you will never tell anyone what you are going to see in there?"

"Bloody hell, did you murder someone or something?"

"Just promise me"

"Fine I promise"

"Great meet me at the front of the woods in 15 minutes"

"We don't have a watch"

"Just be there"

15 minutes later (I think) I was standing next to Newt looking into the forest.

"What are we looking at?" He wispers

"Nothing, Let's go"

We start walking, it isn't that far but I like being in the forest after dark. You can see the start really bright because there is no Light here.

"Man, I ''m so stocked. You know those 15 minutes we're bloody long. I thought I was going to die or something. You must have something really big in there if you never let anyone in there. Wait... You're not going to murder me right. I just realise you never answered my question at dinner. What was I thinking going into the middle of the woods with a stranger. Well actually everyone here is a stranger, because we don't remember anything and - "

"Can you shut shut up please, we're here"

I open the door of my hut and it makes that creaking sound that I love so much. It sounds like home.

"Wooww" I hear Newt say

The room is filled with bookshelf that I made from some fallen trees in the forest. I was getting so many books that I had to find a way to store them.

"Are these all yours?" He asks

I just nod, kinda nervous for his reaction.

"I love this. I mean I get why you don't want anyone to see them."

"You like reading too?"

"I don't remember, but I do remember a vague feeling. So I guess so"

"I love reading. The glade is a beautiful place but that doesn't escape the fact that we're trapped here. These books are a way to forgot my worries for awhile."

"so this is what you do for fun?"

"Yep"

" Look I don't want to invade your space but can I read in here with you. Those guys are a bit to rough for me"

"Yeah ofcourse"

"Really?! Bloody hell that is amazing! I don't know with what books to start. You have so many. How did you get them anyways? No don't tell me, I like the mysterie. Can we maybe make a second bed or something. We can be roommates! And then we can start a book club! And just when-"

" Newt, can you just shut up and read? "

" Yeah, sorry"
